raise an additional $135,000 per year.

wi thou t del a y.
Now, therefore, based upon the above findings, and pursuant to the authority
contained in Section 5.335 of the Eugene Code, 1971, it is hereby ordered that
the parking meter rates proposed above are established as the charges for the
privilege of parking in a metered parking space. The new rates will apply as the
meter mechanisms are modified and are effective on June 15, 1988.
